As soon as Lu Jin'an spoke, the hidden one could no longer hold back.

'Squeak squeak squeak'

With a series of urgent cries, the figure of a long-tailed monkey gradually appeared before the two.

Li Xin'er raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her interest evident:

"So it was a crested white-browed monkey."

As a mutated beast, this monkey is not very big, standing nearly a meter tall. It has a prominent tail that is longer than its body, thin and long, held high behind it.

Its fur is yellowish-brown, and its white eyelids contrast sharply with the dark color of its face.

Lu Jin'an curiously examined the monkey that could turn invisible. Although he had seen many mutated beasts at the S City base, this was the first time he had encountered one that could turn invisible.

The crested white-browed monkey looked pitiful, its face displaying a human-like pleading expression, and it kept clasping its hands together beside Li Xin'er.

'Squeak squeak squeak'

Help me! Help me!

The cries were urgent and anxious.

Li Xin'er pretended not to understand, "The bananas are poisonous, you don't have much time left."

The crested white-browed monkey scratched its ears and cheeks in a panic, propped itself up on one arm, and spun around in place.

Li Xin'er shook her head, "Alas, what a pity for this monkey~ It died from its gluttony."

The monkey pointed at Li Xin'er's clothes and bag, making a 'squeak squeak squeak' sound.

You have the antidote, you have the antidote~

After pointing, she bowed to Li Xin'er, her big eyes already brimming with tears.

Seeing that it was completely hooked, Li Xin'er stopped teasing it.

"You want me to save you?"

The monkey nodded vigorously, squeaking softly.

Help me, help me~

Li Xin'er crossed one arm over her chest, touched her chin with the other, and looked at the monkey with a troubled expression.

"But I only have one dose of the antidote left. Why should I save you? There's no benefit for me in saving you."

The monkey's head was about to be smashed open. In his anxiety, he paced around in circles a few times before kneeling down before Li Xin'er and quickly kowtowing several times.

Then came another round of 'squeak squeak squeak,' a combination of squeaks and gestures.

I have something to give you. You saved me, so I'll take you there.

Li Xin'er originally wanted to keep this monkey, but she didn't expect it to have a treasure. She was a little curious about what it was.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the monkey's eyes were darting around, and it was clear that he was plotting something.

She was about to agree outright, but then changed her mind and said something else entirely.

"Okay, but I'll give you half an antidote first, which will last for a few hours. I'll give you the last one after I get the item."

Lu Jin'an saw through her plan and, while washing the dishes, chimed in to help her out.

"If you take half of the antidote and don't take another one a few hours later, you'll still die the same way."

Li Xin'er turned to Lu Jin'an and gave him an appreciative look.

I never would have guessed. This guy looks honest, but when he starts lying to her, he doesn't even blush. He's got a whole repertoire of lies to tell.

Lu Jin'an caught her gaze and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

The monkey's eyes darted around, and it nodded readily, squeaking.

Half it is fine, give it to me now, time's up, I'm going to die.

Li Xin'er took out a Maltesers from her spatial storage and tossed it to the monkey.

"The antidote comes in two pills; I'll give you one first."

The monkey reacted quickly, catching the Maltesers with a stretch of its long arm and eagerly putting them into its mouth.

He swallowed it without even tasting it, and then collapsed onto the ground, relieved.

It felt like I had survived a disaster.

The thought of still needing one more antidote made his face fall again, like a working person getting up in the morning.

It pointed to Li Xin'er, and then to the mountain from which it had come.

'Squeak, squeak, squeak.'

When are you coming with me to get the things?

Seeing that Lu Jin'an's washing was nearing completion, Li Xin'er was about to tell him to wait there when Lu Jin'an spoke first.

"Can I come along and take a look?"

He was also quite curious about the situation in the mountains.

In City S, he led a team to investigate the situation after a heavy snowfall due to the large-scale death of plants.

I don't know if these places are the same.

The three days that Li Xin'er gave Lu Qi were already quite generous, and there was no rush to travel, so she naturally had no objections.

"Okay, then I'll put these things away first."

She turned to the monkey waiting beside her and said:

"Wait, I'll go with you after I'm all packed."

The monkey nodded, but got up and moved to the side, away from Li Xin'er.

Li Xin'er put the kitchen utensils that Lu Jin'an had organized into her spatial storage.

The monkey tilted its head and glanced at it, but didn't seem particularly surprised.

When the table for putting fruit arrived, Li Xin'er asked the monkey in a good mood,

"Would you like some fruit?"

The monkey leaped into the air, then retreated in terror, its hands and long tail swaying behind it.

'Squeak, squeak, squeak.'

I'm scared, I can't afford it.

'Pfft,' Li Xin'er chuckled, amused by its exaggerated movements, and teased it:

"Don't worry, none of these are poisonous."

The monkey was still traumatized and didn't believe it at all.

Seeing this, Li Xin'er stopped trying to persuade her and put the table and everything else into her spatial storage, followed by the fighter jet parked next to her.

It's better not to leave anyone here, just in case.

The monkey hadn't reacted before, but now that it saw the big guy was gone, surprise showed in its eyes. It kept staring at Li Xin'er with curiosity.

Wow, it's even more amazing than the big flower!

"Let's go."

After packing up, Li Xin'er and the other woman followed the monkey towards the mountains.

After entering the mountains, the road soon disappeared, and we wound our way through two mountains. The monkeys could jump around on the dead branches with great ease.
